How do I find the actual location of a file found by Spotlight?

Spotlight gives me a list of one or more files with the same name? How can I get to those files to open, modify or delete?

Highlight the file in the search results and press the Command and Option keys down.  The location will appear at the bottom of the preview screen.

Edit:  Note correction from control to Command keys

    Hold Command-Option while pointing to an item in the Spotlight list. Or Command-Click will show the item in the Finder.

  • How do I find the tempo of a audio file?

    How do I find the tempo of a imported audio file (stereo track song)
    in Logic Pro 7.

    my way is the old way.
    move your file to the end of the song. (make sure SPL is at the beginning of the region)
    open sample window.
    open tempo list.
    set new tempo and slide the tempo until you see the bar display at the top change position and the down beat of the audio file is underneath the next full bar.
    hope this makes sense.
    you might need to find the next down beat by listening to and then cutting the region at the down beat. that way when you open the saple editor it will be able to see where the down beat is.

  • How do I find the actual size of an app? Example: a wallpaper app claims the size of 4.4 MB, but the size on my iPhone is 4.9 GB!

    Some of the apps on my iPhone are much larger size-wise than claimed on their app page. Example: Wallpapers HD claims 4.4 MB, but the actual size on my phone is 4.9 GB! Pinterest & Facebook also end up being huge real estate hogs. How do I really know the size of an app? The apps don't represent themselves accurately in the app store.
    I figured out that 2 of my podcast apps allow me to remove content after listening. Others don't, though.
    I'm hoping some of you younger people know the answer.
    Thanks,
    Nana Lybbr8

    The size of an app depends on two different things:
    1) the size of the App (as in the App Store)
    2) the size of the App Data
    The App Data can really inflate the size.
    If you want to see how much space an app is actually taking up, got to the Settings app under General and then tap "usage."
    Unfortunately some apps don't let you delete the content. Others do.
    Hope this answers your question.

  • How can I find the actual GPS coordinates of a photo?

    IPhoto 11:  for purposes of cross-referencing photos with physical samples (rocks, plants...) I want to be able to display (or otherwise discover) the actual GPS coordinates that iPhoto has imported with my still photos from Sony HDR-CX520V high definition video camera (GPS enabled).  Can I find the coords within iPhoto?

    I don't believe you can. I'm pretty sure that Graphic Coverter  can do this.

  • How do I find the path to a pdf file I have found in Spotlight?

    I downloaded a pdf file, and a few days later couldn't remember where I put it on my HD.I found it easily using spotlight, but that brings up the file as a full pdf in Preview, and I can't see any way of finding the patrent folder, or the path to it, so I can find it again or move it. How do I do that?
    Thanks,
    Richard

    I just found the answer myself - https://discussions.apple.com/message/17196624#17196624 .
    I agree with the comments in that thread - not at all intuitive!

  • How do I find the tempo of imported audio files?

    I import music tracks from iTunes to record voice/guitar and want to be accurate in the tempo..
    Diego

    GarageBand does not show you the tempo of imported sound files. You have to count it out yourself. If you do not have a utility that will help you count, like Transscribe or Melodyne, cut a section of 8 (or 16) measures out of your recording and then change the tempo of your project, until this section fits exactly 8 or 16 measures in the timeline. This will give you rough idea of the average tempo, but usually your imported audio will have tempo changes, so I'd recommend to fine-tune the tempo locally using the tempo automation curve of the "Master" track.

  • How do I find the size of a video file in iTunes store?

    Is there any way to find out how big a video file is before I download it to my computer? I see that movies show the file size in the product description, but what about episodes of a TV show? Or a complete season? Or a video in iTunes U?
    I tried "right clicking" (or whatever that's referred to on a Mac, sorry, I just recently got my Mac) to get info on a few files, but it says the size is unavailable. I have an iPod Touch I'd like to get videos for, but I don't have a ton of space after putting all my music on it, so that's why I'd like to know the file sizes in advance.

    You can figure for a 1 hour TV show - about 40-45 minutes of video - you will have a file size of about 450-550 meg.
    A movie such as Pirates of the Carri..... will weigh in around 1.6-1.8 gig.

  • How do I find the owner of a folder/file and change it.

    Photoshop will not install license correctly and Adobe is not being much help. The problem seems to be that the Library/preferences/FLEXnet Publisher folder is locked and the Photoshop installer can not write to it. The get info box for the folder says I can read only even though I'm logged in in my admin account and the list at the bottom shows I have read and write. I'm guessing that it may be a folder owner problem (caused by FileMaker since I can see it's data file in there and it is the only one). So can anyone give me terminal commands I can copy and paste into Terminal that will 1) tell me who the current owner is and 2) Change the owner to my admin account to get write permission?

    ok. it has some deny delete ACLs and some Time machine created extended attributes. did you by any chance copy this folder from a TM backup via finder?! that would be the only explanation I can think of for presence of those things. you should NEVER copy or do anything with TM backups from finder. TM backups should be accessed via TM interface ONLY. please run the following terminal command
    chmod -RN "/library/preferences/flexnet publisher/flexnet"
    then see if your problems with this folder go away.

  • How do I copy the address location of a file

    Greetings everyone,
    I was wondering if someone can tell me if there is a way to copy the location of a document (or whatever) in my computer. I want to paste the location of various things into a database where I can just click on it to open it but I need the location.
    I know the location is listed in the "get info" window but it does not allow you to copy it.
    Thank you.
    Marco

    I dragged a .mov file to TextEdit and it showed the path. This is a plain text document - that's important (I tried it with an RTF document and it looked as if it was going to copy the code into the document, I didn't try this).
    This is also on Snow Leopard, but I wouldn't have thought Leopard would have been any different. I assume you are using plain text - I would expect so as presumably you've tried this with other files and got it to work - so I don't know why you are getting different results.

  • How do I change the default location for mail files?

    I want to move my mail folders from /Library/Mail and /Library/Mail Downloads folders to a different drive. How can I do this? I know how to move them - I want to know how I make mail aware of where I have put them). I have an encrypted SSD I want to use.
    I know I can encrypt the main drive but I don't want to do this.

    Changing the default downloads folder is helpful. Solves part of the problem. I have PGP installed and it decrypts the emails as they come in and place them in my inbox as unencrypted so the emails themselves need to remain encrypted on the disk. I tried using alias's but couldn't get it to work.
    I would just encrypt the whole disk but I am worried that I get other problems. I have had 8 Macbook Pro laptops in about 6 years and in that time only one has lasted 12 months plus without a replacement or repair. I don't think much of apples reliability or support for that matter, so rely heavily on disk clones to make sure I can keep working. The hardware is so rubbish I now keep a spare macbook for when my main one needs repaired. In fact I am running off my cloned disk just now because my brand new MBP 17" is in for repair for the 3rd time in 5 months. If the software wasn't so good I would swap back to that other operating system.

  • I would like to know how I might find the OSX 10.9 Install file that the app store put on my hard drive.  Any help is greatly appreciated in advance.

    The app store download is so slow at my house that I don't want to do it more than once and I don't see the file anywhere, even looked for hidden files.  But Directory structure is dense and I surely haven't looked everywhere yet. 
    I would like to archive it on media that is physically independent of my mac.
    Any help is greatly appreciated in advance.

    You can make a bootable USB stick to install using this free program.

  • Using imei no find the phone location?

    using imei no how can i find the phone location?

    I'm afraid it's not possible. In order for a lost iPhone to be located you have to have set 'Find My iPhone' up on it before losing it, and it has to be on, not wiped, and able to connect to a network (how else could it transmit its location) - if any of these conditions is not true then locating it is not possible. You can't use the serial number or IMEI number to locate a phone: the former is only useful to identify it as yours if it turns up, and the latter can be used by most service providers to block it, rendering it useless and preventing anyone from spending your credit.

  • My iPhone getting stolen,how I get the actual location my iPhone way using the apps find my iPhone?

    My iPhone getting stolen,how I get the actual location the full address to find my iPhone way using the apps find my iPhone?

    If you set up the Find My iPhone service prior to your iPhone going missing - the app is for tracking a device from another iOS device - then there is a chance that can be tracked, though it depends on a number of factors (the iPhone is turned on, connected to either the 3G or a WiFi network, or has not had the Find My iPhone service disabled or the iPhone been completely restored). Log into icloud.com and go to the Find My iPhone section. If you did not set up Find My iPhone, check with your cell carrier. Some carriers offer their own tracking service, though you usually have to pay for it. 
    If your carrier does not offer such a service and you did not set up Find My iPhone, then there is no way to track the unit. Contact the police and change any passwords for any online accounts you may have used from your iPhone (the iTunes Store, for instance). 
    Regards.
